Members jasper383 Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 RIP He made really beautiful looking basses. He had made several bassists who had placed deposits with him upset lately because he had fallen behind in corresponding/replying to emails, etc. I guess maybe now we know why.

Members mcbleu Posted September 17, 2009 Members Share Posted September 17, 2009 Oh, wow. What happened? Its too sad to say that a friend and I witnessed what seemed to be a person jumping or falling off the Freemont Bridge. We reported it to 911, later I comfirmed the incident with an editor at KATU News. Later I learned it was David Minniweather. It happened just yesterday.
